Chapter 7: Cards of Fortune

Katsuki Bakugo wasn't in the mood for any type of bullshit. He just discovered his friend is insane and a villain, has way too much power, god knows from where he got those quirks, and he thinks he is some sort of God. Just fucking great.

He was making his way to UA after the internship was done when a black man with dreadlocks, robes crossed on his way "What?" Katsuki asked annoyed and the man looked at him.

"Are you by any chance, Katsuki Bakugo?" He asked and Katsuki growled.

"What if I am?"

The man sighed in relief "Thank goodness. Let me introduce myself, my name is-"

"Fuck off." Katsuki said passing by him.

"Wait!" The man ordered and Katsuki showed him the finger.

*After Class*

"Yo BakuBro! Want to go to the arcade with us!?" Kirishima asked as they left the campus, followed by Uraraka, Mina and Ilda.

"I'm not in the mood, Hair-For-Brains." Katsuki simply said and Kirishima pouted.

"Come on! Don't be like-"

"Katsuki Bakugo! Wait!" Katsuki stopped recognizing the voice and groaned. Following them, there was the same man running to them.

"Who is he?" Uraraka asked and Katsuki shrugged.

"No idea. Has been following me since morning." Katsuki explained as he got in front of the group.

"You need to listen to me, Katsuki. My name is Muhammad Avdol and-"

"And I don't give two shits who you are. I'm going home." Katsuki said and Avdol narrowed his eyes.

"You were friends with DIO, right?" Avdol said and Katsuki stopped to glare at him.

"Don't say his name to me you motherfucker!"

"Dio? Who's that?" Mina asked and Avdol looked at Katsuki dead at the eye.

"I know you knew him. And I know important information about him. Can we talk somewhere private? Your friends can come if you wish." Katsuki narrowed his eyes and turned around.

"Follow me."

*Bakugo´s Residence*

"This tea is delicious." Avdol praised Katsuki as he and the UA students were sat on the living room.

Katsuki didn't care about the praises of this man "So, how you know about him?"

Avdol nodded "Simple, because DIO tried to recruit me for his plans."

"Hold on! Who's this DIO guy?" Kirishima asked and Ilda nodded.

"Is he some sort of villain!? Katsuki! How can you be related to someone like that!?"

"DIO is... not human. He is monster." Avdol said cryptically and the attention turned to him. "He gave away his humanity to gain power. And he plans on use that power to control the world."

Kirishima gaped "I-Is he that strong?"

"I am afraid I don't know. But his mere presence is overwhelming. Let me explain, I was walking to my home when he crossed the street in front of me. At first, I didn't give it a thought, but when he said my name, I noticed it... the raw power coming from his words made me shake... a weaker man would have fallen for his false promises of greatness and money, but I knew better, because, DIO and I share the same power!"

"Explain." Katsuki demanded and Avdol nodded.

He made a pose with his arms and screamed "Magician's Red!" A humanoid creature, with a bird's head came out of fire and floated behind him "This is called a Stand. And DIO also has one."

"Stand? Is that like a quirk?" Uraraka asked, getting more and more confused.

"Yes and no. Both Stands and quirks give the user power, but stand can only be manifested by the person soul and not by its anatomy!" After that, Avdol explained what stands are and how they work.

"And how does that bastard even have one!?" Katsuki roared and Avdol pulled from his coat something he thought he would never see again.

A broken golden arrow.

"Any person stabbed with this, as long he or she has a strong will, shall be granted a stand representing a face of their quirk or personality. Also, people stabbed with this will lose their quirk and be replaced by the stand."

Memories from that day in the museum came back... all this, was his fault? Katsuki thought.

Shaking his head to get those thoughts out, he looked at Avdol "So, why were you looking for me? If you expect me to give you more info I'm sorry but-"

"I came because you can defeat him."

"Hold on, there is way too much info here, why you think BakuBro can beat this DIO?" Kirishima asked and Avdol pulled out tarot cards from his robes.

"I saw it in the cards. It is the destiny of Katsuki Bakugo to defeat DIO and save the world!"

Katsuki liked the tone of that "So, I just have to blow the fucker up? Should be easy."

Avdol nodded with a stern look "Not quite. You see, DIO, because he is not human, he doesn't get injured easily, unless you are All Might, I doubt you will even scratch him. And even though you can punch his stand, the contact will probably break your hand if you are lucky."

Ilda was moving his arms in a robotic way "Then how do we beat him, Mr. Avdol?!"

Avdol closed his eyes "Quirks can't... a stand will beat him."

Katsuki's eyes widened in realization. He looked at his palms and said "You want me to... give up my quirk?"

Avdol nodded solemnly "I am afraid that's the only way."

"Okay this is ridiculous." Mina said "I can believe what you say, but ask him to give up his quirk for something he might not even know how it will turn out!?"

As his classmates started to convince Avdol this was a bad idea, Avdol kept looking at Katsuki that was staring at the arrow. He gave a brief glance at Avdol who nodded.

Katsuki grabbed the arrow and stabbed it on his bicep. He hissed in pain and his classmates looked in shock.

"BakuBro..." Kirishima said as Katsuki managed to create one last explosion from his palm.

He glared at Avdol "Done. Now what?"

"We name it." He said pointing at the light pink humanoid creature, with two flat triangular shapes on the side of its head, cat like eyes floating behind Katsuki.

"It... It worked." Katsuki said almost in relief "So, what can you do?"

The stand raised its finger and started to make a circular motion with it before he touched the table with it. It made motion to get away from the table. They complied and the stand made a fist, raised its thumb and pressed it against his knuckle.

And the table exploded sending them back a bit.

"That was amazing/Dangerous!" Ilda and Kirishima screamed at the same time and Katsuki eyes widen in amazement... that was stronger than any of his other explosions.

"Now for its name..." Avdol said and Katsuki smirked.

"It is my Killer Queen... the stand that will defeat DIO."

*Okinawa*

"You called, DIO-Sama?" DIO looked at N'Doul, Prosciutto, Pesci and Risotto Nero came into his room.

"Yes. Tomura asked me to help him on a little mission he had, but I am not interested on going. You four will. N'Doul, you're in charge."
